This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

#metoo but, if you've been watching the updates, you know I already did my bit and it's in layout. So I know little more than you.

Well, that inspires confidence...

I can't say I'll be the first inline for your next kickstarter.

Oh well, I was not running or funding this kickstarter, so I have little influence. But there likely won't be another kickstarter ever again.

If I''m ever in a position to do a physical book again, crowdfunding will either be totally impossible or totally unnecessary.

Lying isn't protected speech.

Yes it is. It's right there within the 1st amendment. Anyone can lie about you and nothing will be done to them, unless you can prove damages in a court of law, which is extremely difficult and requires you to provide evidence that their lies could be used to specifically identify you and that you also suffered measurable damage (i.e. lost money and/or were physically attacked, etc. as a result). And if you're attacked or lost money because someone lied about a group you may have been affiliated with, but they didn't identify you specifically, you get nothing.

Not saying it's right or wrong. Just saying that lying is literally protected speech.

PS: Also, yes, getting someone banned off a "PrIvAtE pLaTfOrM" is censorship. "But...it's PrIvAtE pLaTfOrM" does not make it not censorship. It just means that people like to suck the dicks of corporations like fucking retards.

Oh, that's not true at all. That's not even consistently true within the US.

100% serious: your OSR stuff is much more usable and interesting. Zak's crap is just art projects published under the guise of roleplaying supplements and the only reason people like them is because of the aesthetic, not the content.

And here's why I've never done a Kickstarter and am unlikely to ever do one.

In all fairness Pundit... If you did a KS I very much doubt it would end up like Zak's. Which had an estimated delivery date of June 2019 (if I remember correctly).

I don't think anyone really minds 'flexible deadlines' when it comes to RPG KS. It's only when they start going way off target people start to get pissed off. The second edition of Kult was another example of this. Grrrr.....

I wonder how Zak feels to find himself in the same 'late' boat as Alex de Campi.

You know, between all the bullshit of last year, I don't think anyone would begrudge things running late. I'm STILL waiting for the System Shock remake, myself. But y'know... there's comes a point where you gotta put up or shut up.

See this is the point of actual free speech: you don't have to wonder. You can ask the person.

I don't know who Alex is, but Demon City is the least of my worries. If it were up to me it'd be out, but I'm not running the kickstarter and I know it'll come out and I know the work is good.

This is how it always works on basically every project--Maze of the Blue Medusa, Red & Pleasant Land: I turn over the stuff on time, graphic design takes forever.

Oh, that's not true at all. That's not even consistently true within the US.
Not only is it true, it's red-letter law.  And it was enshrined into law (because the folks who did so were apparently wiser than today's bunch) because "lying" is a fundamentally subjective standard.  Anyone who has read a "fact check" done in the media knows that "lie" can mean anything from "doesn't interpret the facts the way that I do" to "fails to mention this other point."  That's why "lying" is a stupid and irrelevant charge.  What is important is whether or not what someone says is factual (and this is the reason why a factual statement cannot be legally defamatory, once again by red-letter law).  So if you want to tell me what someone said is not factual, I'll listen.  But your whole "Brad isn't able to provide statements to my standard and is therefore lying" mental masturbation earlier in the thread is the textbook example why no one with your mentality should ever be in a position of authority (or listened to by anyone in a position of authority), ever.

Nope. The goal posts (read up) are at "it's legal to lie unless you can prove damages". That's not true at all.

You can google, I'm sure.

At some point people will realize that the buildings on both sides of the street are on fire and the fire fighters are pumping kerosene onto the structures.  Then the brass dog machines will run down the moderates and take their books from their cold dead hands.  There are no winners in the culture wars.

Name such a person and provide receipts for this claim, Bradley.

So, great example:

Since:

-lying isn't protected speech, and

-Bradley was asked for proof point-blank and didn't provide it, and

-burden of proof is on the person introducing the claim

...you could go "Ok, Bradley is a liar, and is banned" and erase Bradley's comments and that would not be censorship.


You're an absolute faggot. Thanks for proving why no one should entertain you or even respond to you in any form. The level of stupidity in your followup is only overshadowed by the complete lack of self-awareness. It'd be amusing if it wasn't so annoying.

Well, thank you, I appreciate that!

You ever going to release a second volume of the Old School Companion? I remember you mentioning it in the past, been on the look out.
